🍳 How to cook (4 servings):
Preparing the Cheese
Start by cutting the cheese into small cubes or grating it, depending on your preference. If using a combination of cheeses, mix them together evenly.
Making the Coating Mixture
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt, and any herbs and spices you like. Common choices include garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. In separate bowls, beat the eggs and place the all-purpose flour.
Coating the Cheese
Dip each cheese cube first in flour, then egg, and finally, roll them in the seasoned breadcrumbs until well-coated. For extra crunch, you can double dip by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
Frying the Cheese Balls
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the cheese balls in batches, without overcrowding, for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Serve the fried cheese balls hot, with dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli. They're best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is still melty and the coating crispy.
